I agree, these boards are HORRIBLE!! I HATE that the first post I see is the one where i posted that I had a m/c a YEAR AGO, thanks for bringing that up! And for making the other girls think I was having another m/c! You should be ashamed of yourselves! This is nothing but a big mess! What are we supposed to get out of this? Really, you couldn't just add expert boards and maybe slightly spruce up the look of the old boards, you had to go and make such a mess out of this?? Who the heck thought this was the most user-friendly way to get us the best information? That person should be FIRED!!!!

Thanks for your Reply!

Not only are the "popular" posts close to and over a year old, but it's really not well thought out to be bringing back posts this old. For starters, like jennybop stated, the most popular post has made her have to bring back one of the hardest times in her life. Plus other members are freaking out because they thought it was a current post. But even if this wasn't the case, in an "exchange" like this, would ANYTHING a year old that's "popular" really still be relevant? This is a community bonding over pregnancy...posts from that long ago generally do not have the same community of people still around!

My biggest complaint is the lack of readability. You used to be able to scroll down and see about 25 posts all within a little more than a computer screen. Now you have to scroll, scroll, scroll to see, what? 10 posts? And, you can't even see who started the post...only who most recently responded.

So if someone is posting about their doctor's appointment, you have no idea who it is, until you read it...you only know who most recently responded.

VERY hard on the eyes of those who want to do a quick check in on their friends!

And post anonymously!?!?!??!?!?! REALLY?????? I thought these board tried to stay away from drama....i can see that being B-A-D! VERY BAD!!!!!

And where are the signatures? I always found it so helpful when I could see in the signature the posters background (if they chose to share) and their due date! It's sooo much easier to know how to post back to them!
